Had you been a juror in the trial for the 1908 murder of Dover police officer Walter S. Sterling, you might have wondered why John Dame had been up and about at 4:15 in the morning walking around his house with a loaded revolver.

The following morning, bright and early, he took the train to Boston with $3,500 of the bank s money in his possession.
